perry, was it a mistake for the administration to embrace that term obama care? >> it may have been. i'll tell you one thing, one of the biggest misconceptions is the law is still not law. a woman asked me, is it really law? she's wondering, defund this, oppose this -- she's still confused by that part of it as well. people don't know the law is in effect at this point. that's one of the biggest challenges. but i do think in these states, i went to georgia and kentucky and i followed around people who were actually implementing the law and actually talking about it. and they never used the phrase obama care. you go to california where maeve is, they call their program covered california. in georgia, they have a program called enroll america they're working with. their strategy basically is, if we don't use the phrase obama care, we will avoid getting into a conversation. i saw people talk about health care saying, my cousin has a pre-existing condition, my father has high blood pressure, what can i do about it? >> maeve, you wrote about how the white house is try

if we get a year delay on obama care, which i think is necessary and i believe even the administration would agree with that, then we can actually put forward a plan that will work for america and it is patient centered, not government run. >> before you go, i'd just like to ask you quickly about north carolina's voter i.d. law that was just signed into law last month. now, the justice department reportedly plans to file a lawsuit against your state today claiming that the law discriminates against african-americans. what's your reaction to that? >> you know, i support the voter i.d., and i do because it gives an option for voter i.d., identification for individuals. you know, it's a simple process. we should be able to identify ourselves when we vote and we go to the polls. it's not that big of an issue. and those who keep bringing it up as an issue are really misguided. you know, this is to be expected by the department of justice. >> but, congresswoman, with all due respect, there's no evidence of widespread voter i.d. fraud, especially impersonation fraud, which is one person going

but right now, i mean the position that we have is the administration, barack obama and jay carney and their team should all be in obama care like the rest of america. if it's good for america and members of congress, it should be good for the president and his team. we've asked for that. we've also asked that individuals get treated the same way as big businesses. they came to the hill and lobbied for a one-year delay in the requirements of obama care. we're asking give that same delay to the individuals. treat them fairly like you do the big businesses. they might not have as much money, but we should treat them equally. >> why delay ultimately, though? why delay ultimately when this needs to be tested? when it needs to be rolled out and the fact, you know, that it passed through both houses of congress in 2010. it's been vetted by the supreme court. the american people re-elected president barack obama back into office on the mandate that obama care was going to be law of the land and the senate remains democratic controlled. now while the house remains republican controlled, two-th

>> jack lew defended the administration on all the major networks this morning. this is a bit of what he said. take a listen. >> the failure of congress to act would for the first time put us in a place where we're defaulting on our obligations as a go. it is irresponsible and reckless to take that chance. there are no good choices if we run out of borrowing capacity. the first time since 1979, the united states would not be paying its bills. >> your take is a bit unique. is he crying wolf there or not so much? what happens to the economy if there is no agreement by october 17th? >> the reality is we don't know that he's crying wolf because none of us know what would happen on october 18th if we don't know what we're supposed to do before then. do i think that the ratcheting of the rhetoric of doom, the debt-apocalypse that it allows each camp to dig in saying the stakes will be huge. so you are creating a crisis about 11 days from now. and i don't think anything will happen frankly only late the week after columbus day because you have two camps saying we won't
